Triberr is not really the one driving traffic. Triberr is only a tool. It’s up to each and every one of us to build quality tribes, and write quality content. Triberr is simply a platform that helps you leverage existing relationships you have with bloggers, and build new ones.

30 Thousand Tribes and Growing…

Bloggers group themselves in organizations units called tribes.

Average tribe has about 12-15 bloggers, but some tribes have as many as 100+.

Each member of the tribe has a small audience of their own, but together, with 15 bloggers sharing 15 small audiences, it equals to a -to borrow Rob Dempsey’s term- a metric ton of traffic.

Keepin’ it Secret, Ya’ll

He said, and I paraphrase, that he almost doesn’t want to talk about Triberr because he feels like it’s his secret weapon.

It takes a big person to recognize that impulse, and I truly appreciate Ross for sharing that insight with me.

Ross was also able to recognize the benefit of having more bloggers banded together to everyone’s benefit. Because it’s not us against us, it’s us against them. And if you’d like to learn which “them” I’m referring to, watch this video.

Krissy makes a compelling case for getting on these secret social networks early. She also lays out a game plan for each network, how to best leverage it, and how to establish your presence with a fury.

The Weird Thing Is…

The weird thing Is that big tech sites are not reporting on Triberr, and yet it’s taking brand new bloggers approximately 7-10 days to discover Triberr.

Now I know Triberr has done zero work to actually reach out to big tech sites. I know this because it’s my job to reach out to big tech sites :-p

But if brand new bloggers are discovering this “secret” platform for bloggers, why aren’t supposed journalists able to do the same? Am I expecting too much? Nevermind…I already know the answer

I reckon it’s not gonna make it more likely to get a write up on TechCrunch if I call them lazy, but I gots to call them as I see ‘em.

The High C

I want to finish on a high note.

There are those who can’t shut up about Triberr even if you beg them to. Some are highly respected and influential bloggers, like Geoff Livingston and Kikolani, and some are less known and amazing just the same.
